Take a look and remember,
The STEM strategy has four key aims under four headings – Excellence, Equity, Inspiration and Connection.
To build the capacity of the education and training system to deliver excellent STEM learning so that employers have access to the workforce they need;
To close equity gaps in participation and attainment in STEM so that everyone has the opportunity to fulfil their potential and contribute to Scotland’s economic prosperity;
To inspire children, young people and adults to study STEM and to continue their studies to obtain more specialist skills;
To connect the STEM education and training offer with labour market need – both now and in the future – to support improved productivity and inclusive economic growth.
